gives forth no uncertain sound. Fol
lowing Is the tariff plank: ave
call upon Congress for the immediate
revision of our tariff laws to a reve-

try and every section may enjoy per-
feet equality under the law, and we,
favor the retention of the internal
revenue tax on intoxicating liquors
and tobacco and protest against its
proposed reduction for the purpose of
continuing the present high tariff on

form strongly endorses the admins

THE Grand Army of Republic
seems to be trying to turn itself into
what might more appropriately be
called the Grand Army of Republi-
cans. They are very indignant that
the President should interpose the
insurmountable obstacle if his pom
derous veto between the shrieking
patriots and the surplus in the treas
ury. But the people of the United
States are going to teach these furi-
ously loyal gentlemen that the gov
and the public money be-
longs to the people Des estals Unis, and
not to the shrieking patriots, by re-
electing Mr.. Cleveland by way of en-
dorsement of this same veto.

the embankment above him caved In

several persons working around tN

TOO fast for him, and he had only
gone but two or three steps until he
was covered up. Those who escaped
uninjured began as quick as possible
to remove the dirt that had fallen in
on him, but before they could reach
him, ne smothered to death. He
was a good citizen and leaves many
friends to mourn his death, besides d
wife and four or five children, who
take his death very hard. This is
the second person to our knowledge
that has been killed in the country in
the same manner during the past ten
years. The deceased was about 20
years old.

what it meant. Gen. r. wants to 90

perhaps, 1t will be better any way.
IN the long run, for Tuttle is a very
dangerous man, especially on n cot

lashings which we would have to ex-
pect if this distinguished military
chieftain were once elected to the
Senate, it almost makes ones hair
